This is a genuine Iron Nickel Nantan meteorite. The weight of this meteorite 1315 grams (abt. 46 ounces). It measures 4 inches in length, 3 inches in width and 1 1/2 inches in thickness at the thickest point.
Nantans contain a trace amount of chlorine which causes them to oxidize more quickly than other meteorites. That's what gives them their unique and beautiful brownish-red color. Due to this fact, we do not recommended cutting and polishing these pieces. They need to be protected at least once a year by soaking them in mineral oil. Included with the meteorite is a nice color information label and certificate of authenticity. This is a great gift for meteorite collectors!
